Happy Halloween!

Halloween is coming up. Unfortunately I didn't have a costume picked out six months in advance this year. I was unsure as to why, but then I looked back at the last six months of my life and figured it out: I might be a little more busy than I used to be.

Anyway, I decided to go as something I could do easily: a greaser! I have some black boots, jeans, t-shirt, $2.00 worth of Murray's pomade and I picked up a motorcycle jacket. Voila! I am Marlon Brando in The Wild One. We have a "bar review" on Thursday. That's where the student government throws a party, despite what it might sound like (it's a pun). Then on Saturday I am going to the UW v. USC football game here in LA with some ol' SAE boys from Cali. I am already mentally preparing myself for the abuse I am going to take from the rabid Trojan fans.

I got my first graded assigment back last week. I am happy with the grade; essentially it's a high B. Bs are not very common in law school, so that's great. Just gotta keep it up!

Like in the tale of bridge troll, you can't pass behind the podium area with out answering these little lurker's questions. "Answer me these questions three, lest the other side ye may nev'r see. Question the first...

Gunners are by far the worst. While podium trolls are harmless, Gunners have a tendency to actively annoy you. Here is a youtube video one of my class mates forwarded me:
